But after using the cable, I provided it turned out he didn't need to pull the car apart as much as he thought he would have to. So then he kept the price at its original. The install was clean. I will probably come back for a wrap, which he gave me a quick lesson about. Jose is honest, professional, and quick. Thanks, JB!

This was my second time visiting this business. The first time I visited this business, they…read morecompleted a 30 minute dash cam install modification in 20 minutes. I really appreciated how transparent their pricing was. When I realized these folks were also capable of custom stereo installs, I asked them for their feedback on the stereo I had then, and discussed with them about what might be possible in the exact same car. Over a year later, I got another car just like the one I had before, and was interested in making my vision happen. I was always interested in installing the best budget components possible, and getting the best sound possible spending as little money as possible, and this business helped with their expertise, their experience, and their professionalism. Owner Mike, and son Mike Junior and expert installer José are a dream team. All three deliver highly professional and highly experienced service, customer care and attention. They do it happily with a smile on their face. And they answer all questions with a level of confidence that is reassuring. You know you're dealing with pros when you're talking with these people. What I really want to highlight yet again is the integrity, honesty, and transparency in their pricing. This was the first car audio shop that gave me an HOURLY price for their labor, where everyone else offers opaque pricing, leaving themselves wiggle room to find ways to squeeze money out of their customers in other ways. I shopped around and looked for car audio installers that would install the components I had already purchased, and this business was the only one that gave me an hourly rate for their labor. I really appreciated that, and it spoke volumes to me about the integrity at this business, and the likelihood of ripoffs at other businesses. SC audio is not only staffed with experienced professionals, but honest and hard-working people. And like I said, it's a family business--dad and son, in partnership with an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced professional named Jose. For this visit, SC audio installed in my latest car a three channel dash cam with both a front and back camera, as well as two speakers in my two front doors, and the amplifier to power them. I've also decided that I'll be returning next week to have them install a compact subwoofer under my driver seat, because as much as I enjoy the components they have already installed, I've admitted to myself that I need a subwoofer, and there was no way around that. Unfortunately, I was not able to take any photos of any of their work, because it's all hidden and cannot be seen. If you are looking for excellent components installed in your car at more than reasonable and HONEST prices, come to SC audio. Tell them Johan sent you. Five stars.

This is a total of TWO 5-STAR REVIEWS, combined into one…read more Stereo 1 recently installed an aftermarket GPS/starter kill switch device on my car. Mechanics won't do this, but Stereo1 handled it. Why 2 reviews? In April 2024, I walked into Stereo1 with the goal of getting as much bass as I could without taking up any trunk or passenger space. Long story short: this business does not do custom installs, despite appearances. For a long time, I was unsure about the stereo I got from S1, for two reasons: the self-powered AIO Pioneer subwoofer definitely adds bass that isn't possible with mid size speakers, but there's just no comparison to a sub in a sealed box powered by a separate amp--even if I got 2 more AIO subwoofers, and this was never made clear to me. I resented this for a while. Also, my stereo was supposed to be louder, but I never got the amp for the 6x9 JBL Club speakers I got, because Crutchfield advised against doing so due to supposed "limitations on a hybrid". I went back to S1, and Sam was surprised to hear what Crutchfield said. I said if he could confirm that an amp could be installed, to call me so I could buy it and have them install. After that, I never heard back from S1. So I felt like I was left with a stereo that 1) didn't have satisfactory bass 2) overkill speakers that could not be powered sufficiently 3) I was suspicious about being ripped off on components and install. I had initially left a 5 star review because I first appreciated how easy Sam made the transaction, and I did believe I had upgraded my car stereo even if it wasn't giving me the joy I was seeking. However, after days and weeks of driving with a stereo that I wished was louder, I deleted my 5 star review. Fast forward to Jan 2026, and I got another car exactly the same as the one prior and I wanted to try the original mission again but using AI for advice the entire way. As it turned out, what I got from S1 was 1) definitely appropriate for the limitations I was working with 2) reasonably priced 3) could've handled the amp for the speakers, so Sam was actually on the right track, but he just never called me back, so he didn't make more money, and I didn't get more power (but at least I didn't pay more money). And I also got a quote from S1 for another install. I get nervous at businesses where pricing and costs are opaque and aren't clearly labeled and posted, and instead are calculated on the fly. It's not a good look, and I hate the feeling I get when I suspect I might be getting ripped off. I got a quote, and I thought I could do better with a business that offered an hourly rate for installs, so I went to a different business. At the end of the day, I think I would've paid about the same at S1. I support small, local business. And I always got knowledgeable service and total professionalism at S1. I came to S1 with a vision and unrealistic expectations. Looking back, S1 is a 5-star car stereo business for any consumer not looking for custom jobs/custom subwoofer boxes & custom installs. And they have car alarm and aftermarket modifications specialists. Not a ripoff. A legit business offering service professionalism, quality components and quality installs. And I've actually returned once for a minor speaker concern & corresponding minor repair. What I thought was a blown speaker was just a corroded speaker wire. 5 Stars.

I was under the impression that I was not about to add anything else to my stereo, but I was happy to hear this team can really make some magic happen.
